And with matches in Glasgow...but it's because the footie takes longer than time would allow, with rest days between...apparently.

Slackers :lol:

That and a string of retweets of weird, racist political folks and the like.

Seems very daft of her.

Oh and there's already apparently been a claim for asylum from one athlete.

Depends whether it was the Scots controlling the displays or LOCOG.

Apparently they had got the name of the country wrong as well, calling it "North Korea".. when everyone knows it is the "Democratic People's Republic of Korea" (well, one out of four ain't bad...)

He can have it if he wins gold. We don't need anymore losers in the UK and you gotta motivate the boy.

Cameron on the Olympics and the economy.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/poli...P-figures.html

"...There’s the physical infrastructure that we’ll have forever. If you take the Aquatics Centre… after the Olympics that is going to be used by 800,000 people every year so it’s a great bit of physical legacy..."

No wonder we are in the shit - does he really think 800,000 people per year - over 2,000 people per day - are really going to go swimming?

We can't have many more people going swimming per day in the whole country, let alone in the arse end of London.

I looked up the national aquatic centre in Dublin (same kind of facility) and apparently it had 825,000 people last year. So maybe the figures are not that far off.
